angie:
i'm sorry you're having such a bad time with your feet. when i limp painfully....immediate relief is putting frozen bags of peas on it. then the only thing that will calm down plantar fasciitis is to go to the podiatrist for a cortisone shot. at least that will get me walking normally again. once he gives me the shot, it works like a charm and there's absolutely no pain. my feet and toes are numb, numb, numb.
podiatirst said he could do the surgery to remove the spurs but it would only come back so the only relief he can give me is a shot in the heels every couple of months.
i hope you can find a podiatrist that will help you and relieve your suffering. you deserve better than to be in pain all the time.
